This momentous achievement follows
seven (7) International Davey Awards which were won by the agency last month. While the Davey Awards focus on creativity, the Bookmarks Awards recognise the very best in Digital – the pioneers, the thought-leaders, the ones that make a difference and raise the industry standard in South Africa.

Quirk Group Chief Executive Officer
,Rob Stokes, says it is important for agencies that deliver great results over and above client expectations, to be recognised for their efforts across the industry.

“The Quirk team has worked incredibly hard this year and these wins pay respect to the truly world class team we have,” Stokes said.

“Doubling the size of an agency in 10 months is a stressful endeavour and I could not be more proud of our amazing team right now. It is truly an honour to achieve this recognition by our industry.”

453 entries were submitted for the awards. Two international judges;
Teresa Clarke from Africa.com and Technical Director from Sid Lee in Amsterdam, Antti Kupila, lead the 2011 judging panel which comprised of 20 judges in total.

The expertise of Clarke and Kupila allowed the panel to benchmark the Bookmarks entries against global excellence and proved that South African agencies are keeping up with best of international standards.
